- Function / Content
This series is the Memorandum Book of George William Rusden, who acted in the post of Clerk of the Parliaments from 1856-1882.
Along with copies of unregistered outward correspondence created by the clerk, this series also contains entries that document the exercise of his various duties as Clerk of the Parliaments. (For example, Rusden made dated entries when unbound Votes and Proceedings were delivered to the Government Printer, and itemised the distribution of bound volumes to various people and departments. He also was required to submit quarterly estimates to Treasury and the Chief Secretarys Office.) Occasionally, items of inward correspondence are copied into the Memorandum Book, usually before the copy of the Clerks reply to the same.
The Clerk also recorded other reference information in this series, such as addresses, and the correct form and wording for notices, certificates, etc.
